His technical knowledge coupled with solid business acumen make him a valued partner.  He is, in my experience, a unique blend of the practical and the academic.  Steve knows the financial services industry and is able to make significant contributions to an organization's bottom line.   I recommend him to all of my professional colleagues for selection or consulting projects."

"Steven's experience and research with tests and assessments, particularly in the financial services industry, provided my sales development team with a common-sense approach to test design.  His Item Writing Course is a requirement for anyone who prepares tests and assessments.  And his 20 best practice tips have become the resource for us as we build tests for our frontline salesforce.  After we attended his seminar, we were inclined to improve 50% of our existing tests and assessments.  With Steven's guidance, it took very little time and provided more valid results."
